I love how happy this album seems. It's not a classic, but it's definitely very enjoyable while it's on. I wish there was more I could say about it, but it really is just good religious "world" music. No Charlie over-analysis necessary.

Been awhile since I’ve listened to this one, but I can tell you right now that it’s still one of The Residents weakest albums that I’ve heard. This is not to say I dislike it, as that would be wrong—but I’m not in love with it like I am “Commercial Album”, “Meet the Residents”, and “Third Reich ‘n Roll”. Still have yet to listen to a Residents record as good as those three and I’m curious to see if there is an unsung classic somewhere. That said, lots of cool ideas on this record but none that greatly resonate with me.
This one had a fairly strong start for me but by the time five or six tracks in I began to notice a steady decline of consistency and overall enjoyment; best songs on the album are tracks 1, 2, and 4 for me as well. That said this was a nice foray into conventional college rock radio with a latin flavor. Seems like the band tries to do too much, but when they focus on their jangle pop influences over all else they come to make music I just generally enjoy more.
This was actually my first experience with The Go! Team (I know right?), and I have to say, initial impressions are overwhelmingly positive. Many layers of interesting sounds that normally I'd try and analyze but this shit is so intrinsically happy that I kinda just want to listen without thinking and let flow over me and it is lovely ^_^ Thank you Nacho! Gonna listen to more Go Team fo sho
I had apparently listened to this once before and liked it, on relisten it jumped a few star ratings. I don't know what hit me this morning but I felt it was absolutely fantastic; the rhymes that felt out of early 90s "alternative" LA, the beats were really cool and gave me good vibes, and it was overall just fairly consistent for me. Good choice, might make my BEA user reccs chart.
this was struck me more or less how I assumed it would, which is as something that works really well but seriously shouldn't. There should be gimmicks! There should be more inconsistency! Conceptually this should've been an utter failure but hell I think it works pretty damn well. Not life-changing but just the fact that it's not a tragedy (and is in fact quite good) is impressive in and of itself. Fun as fuck too 😄
